AI Detection & Conversation Scripts | K-12 | Editable Forms + Scripts

When you suspect AI use, what do you actually say? This toolkit gives you word-for-word conferring scripts, a 5-minute walk-through interview, defensible documentation forms, parent meeting language, and an admin referral form. Lead with curiosity. Document everything. Escalate slowly. K-12, all subjects.

You wrote the AI policy. Students signed the agreement. Now an essay just landed on your desk that doesn’t sound like the student who wrote it. What do you actually say?

This toolkit answers the gap between policy and practice. It gives you the exact language for the conferring conversation, the parent meeting, and the admin referral - without leaning on unreliable AI detectors and without risking a false accusation that blows up the relationship.

WHY THIS WORKS

• Lead with curiosity, not certainty. Real authors can talk about their work. AI users usually can’t. The 5-minute walk-through interview surfaces understanding without a single accusation.
• Document everything. Even when you decide to do nothing. Patterns across the year only show up in your records - and if a case escalates, your documentation log is your defensibility.
• Escalate slowly. The decision tree shows you when to monitor, when to confer, when to repair, when to involve parents, and when to refer to admin.
